It was extremely telling to me that the Zed editor team put out a video about using their AI interface and I don't remember what model they used but they asked it to add a new toggle for a feature and then spent half they video demonstrating their admittedly excellent review workflow to accept or reject the AI generated code and you could directly see how useless it was down to adding completely superfluous new lines randomly and the explanation was "it just does that sometimes"
I'm really not seeing these massive gains in my workflow either and maybe it's the nature of my general work but it's baffling how every use case for programming I'm seeing on YouTube is so surface level. At this point I've given up and don't use it at all
I asked the "AI" to do something relatively simple - fix when a button was enabled or disabled. And it then rewrote the entire 200+ line file, which then did not run, it was completely broken. Nice job "AI"!
